She married her high school sweetheart, Elwood Lester Watts, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on September 3, 1954. They raised their children in Roy, Utah and later moved to Stansbury Park.
Carolyn was a kind, compassionate woman who was thought of as a friend by everyone she met.

She will be greatly missed.
